Here's a picture of the engine that will be in your CLA250: The M270, a 4 cylinder (2.0L) 1991cc Turbocharged motor with 208 horsepower and 258ft/lbs of torque.
- engine-oil weight & volume (and type/spec, as-in does it have to be a certain SAE/dealer-sourced)
- recommended fuel (USDM octane)
- service-intervals (ie. plugs, timing-belt, water-pump, etc)
The various German manufacturer direct-engine turbo motors have been void of notable sludge and/or carbon-deposit issues, correct? I know VAG (VW/Audi) had issues w/ such in the recent past.
nice fiind... i wonder if that motor would fit in my Blender and maybe i could make a decent Protein drink.... need help grinding nuts and ice cubes... lol:yawn:
Is there a type of motor oil brand approved to Mercedes standards? I'm not familiar with Mercedes. With Audi, I know of only two brands that are certified to VW 501 and 502 standards. I'm always checking the backsides of the oil bottles. European cars are very particular about what motor oil they use.
Also good question about the timing belt. Does it need to be replaced at a certain mileage, or do you just wait for failure?
I prefer Mobile 1 synthetic. I don't really care what the manufacturer recommends. Very often they recommend 0 weight oil but thats only because by law they have to if they do the EPA tests using that oil.
Although I speak no words of German, this wikipedia site notes that the engine is chain driven (so I'm guessing its an interference engine?): Mercedes-Benz M 270/M 274 ? Wikipedia
Translate using Google Translate:
The engine has two overhead chain-driven camshafts . Both camshaft timing is adjusted . [4] This, in conjunction with the turbocharger, the so-called scavenging , wherein the overlap between the opening times of inlet and outlet part. Here flushes the cold fresh air sucked in the still hot flue gas in the combustion chamber located in the exhaust manifold, which improves substantially the cylinder filling. The turbocharger speaks of the increased gas flow in the exhaust system, especially at low speeds much faster. Thus, a is turbo lag avoided. By direct the fresh air is not mixed in the fuel flowing into the cylinder, thereby scavenging losses (unburned gasoline leaking in the manifold) are avoided.
i have a 2015 cla 250 non sport that is bone stock, i wanted to hear some more exhaust, and turn some more heads. i don’t wanna make it crazy loud or spend crazy money. i read some threads saying resonator won’t change the sound and probably make it sound like my exhaust has a can stuck in it...
As the title says, but I want to know do I need any other performance parts with the piggyback, or could I just plug and play without any other complementary parts, what in trying to get at is, I want to do plug and play without getting anything else, would this harm my car over time? Or do I...
I recently purchased a bone stock 2014 CLA 45. While I do enjoy its performance I would appreciate a little more performance especially as it concerns throttle response. Since joining this group I have noticed there is no shortage of companies offering packages to improve the performance of the...
Hey, so I was Doug some research on e85 but I wanted some personal opinions. Do you think that e85 gas would be benefitcal to the engine for tracking on the Cla250? Or would it just be better with 91/100 octane gas? Any personal experiences/opinions?
